 Announcement regarding Barryroe

27 May 2015

Lansdowne Oil & Gas plc, a North Celtic Sea focussed oil and gas company, notes today's preliminary results announcement by Providence Resources plc ("Providence"), which included an update on the status of the Barryroe farm-out process.

Lansdowne holds a 20% working interest in Barryroe and the update stated:

"BARRYROE FARM OUT UPDATE

In February, in response to media speculation, Providence confirmed that it had reached agreement on commercial terms with a proposed farminee on its Barryroe asset, offshore Ireland, with such farm in being subject to closing conditions, most specifically financing. The Company advises that the closing conditions referred to have yet to be satisfied and that it is seeking to clarify the status of those conditions and the proposed farminee's position. Shareholders are reminded that there is no certainty that farm in will be concluded with the proposed farminee and that further announcements will be issued in due course, as appropriate. In the interim, as this was not an exclusive arrangement, Providence has continued commercial discussions in respect of its Barryroe asset with various counterparties, a number of whom are currently active in the data room process."
